* ShoutOut: [[Film/HotFuzz "The greater good..."]]
** [[spoiler:Of course, the ending is one big tribute to WebAnimation/HowItShouldHaveEnded, with the appropriate cameos!]]

* GroinAttack: [[spoiler:Superman does this to Doug!Zod to save the critic. With heat vision.]]

* ColdOpening: The music video at the start points out the similarities of both ''Film/TheDarkKnightSaga'' and ''Man of Steel''.

** "I AM JESUS! I AM JESUS".

* SadisticChoice: PlayedForLaughs. Doug!Zod threatens the Critic with bodily harm should he say something positive about Man of Steel. Joe then retorts that the Critic would be hunted down like an animal by the FanDumb if he went back on his positive words to Man of Steel. His situation causes the Critic to lament:

* WhatTheHellHero: Doug!Batman calls Superman out on killing someone just to save people he didn't know, especially since he himself didn't even resort to doing this when TheJoker killed his childhood friend. [[{{Hypocrite}} Even though he left Ra's al Ghul to die and killed Harvey Dent.]]

* TakeThat: AI!Jor-El stating that he won't be available for XBoxOne.

* UnexplainedRecovery: Zod is revealed to have survived being [[WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee blown up on the Death Bomb]].

* CrossOver: With AngryJoe, who provides some rather logical analysis points to counter whatever doesn't make sense for the Critic. Critic outright ignores him most of the time of course.

* ShoutOut: [[HotFuzz "The greater good..."]]

* SadisticChoice: A rare case of PlayedForLaughs. Doug!Zod threatens the Critic with bodily harm should he say something positive about Man of Steel. Joe then retorts that the Critic would be hunted down like an animal by the FanDumb if he went back on his positive words to Man of Steel.
